That's what I'd like to do, get them flush with full thread engagement. Thanks for the tips, I'll be sure and take my time!

Thanks for the advice. This sounds like a viable option.

Thanks Shawn, that's a generous offer and I appreciate it. Unfortunately I don't live close (Salem). I have a disc sander and vise, so possibly I'll try that method. Kevin

Thanks MTBULLET and Browninglover1. I'll probably try it myself and if I don't end up with a nice job, then purchase the correct size screws.

I recently purchased a Bell and Carlson Alaskan II stock for a Rem 700 BDL SS .300 RUM. The factory guard screws are too short and so I called B and C and they sent me longer screws. These screws are way too long and need to be fitted. What's the best way to trim and fit these screws? I've...

Does this tipi have the side guy-outs? It appears to have them in the picture, but want to confirm. Thanks

Thanks, I appreciate the input. That helps

Thanks for the input. Based on my low velocities and mild charges, I am inclined to think my loads are not over-pressure, even with the ejector plunger marks. I've tested hotter loads and the cases always look the same, so maybe it is a sharp edge on the ejector. I'll head out to my range in...

I came across an old post regarding the .300 RUM and Retumbo powder. I'm working up some loads in my .300 RUM and I almost always see a faint ejector mark on my Rem case heads (shooting a model 700 SS, 26" barrel). I have never noticed any other signs of pressure and I'm trying to figure out...

Shooting Rem 700 SS .300 RUM, 26" barrel and I'm interested in other shooters' favorite loads. I've read about quite a few and it seems I'm using a fairly mild load (92.5gr Reloder 25, 180 gr Swift Scirocco, 3100 fps). Even with this load I get slight ejector marks on the case head (small...

Thanks for the advice. Eaglet, obviously it makes little difference having a chronograph at 12 feet according to LoadBase 2.0. I appreciate the input.

How can one compute the true muzzle velocity (or at least closer to it) when using a chronograph that's not actually at the muzzle? I remember reading about this in the past, but cannot find the article. I routinely set my chrony at 11 feet from the muzzle (closer, and the muzzle blast from my...
